*Notes to Notice of AGM* 
 
*1. Documents provided* 
 
This notice of the AGM (*Notice of AGM*) is being sent 
to all members and all CI Holders as defined in the 
Articles (the CI Holders together with the members, the 
*Shareholders*). 
 
A separate letter from the CEO of the Company (the 
*Letter to Shareholders*) incorporating further details 
of how Shareholders may attend and vote at the AGM and 
important notes for AGM registration, proxy appointment 
and voting instructions (*Important Notes*) is 
available on the Company's website: 
 
https://www.dialog-semiconductor.com 
 
- Company - Investor Relations - Annual General Meeting 
and is included with the Notice of AGM sent to 
Shareholders. 
 
*2. Entitlement to attend and vote* 
 
The Company, pursuant to the Articles, specifies that 
only those Shareholders entered in the register of 
members of the Company or the CI Register (as defined 
in the Articles) (together the *Registers of Members*) 
at 2pm BST (3pm CEST) on 28 April 2020, or if this 
meeting is adjourned, in the appropriate Registers of 
Members 48 hours before the time of any adjourned 
meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at the 
AGM in respect of the number of shares (or in the case 
of CI Holders, interests in shares) registered in their 
name at that time. Changes to the entries in the 
Registers of Members after 2pm BST (3pm CEST) on 28 
April 2020, or if this meeting is adjourned, in the 
Registers of Members less than 48 hours before the time 
of any adjourned meeting, shall be disregarded in 
determining the rights of any person to attend or vote 
at the meeting. 
 
*3. Personal attendance* 
 
Shareholders wishing to attend the AGM in person should 
request an Admission Card by following the procedure 
described at section 1 ('Request for an Admission 
Card') in the reply form attached to the Letter to 
Shareholders (the *Reply Form*). 
 
*4. Proxies* 
 
Shareholders who are unable to attend the AGM may 
appoint one or more proxies (who need not be a 
Shareholder) to exercise all or any of their rights to 
attend, speak and vote at the AGM, provided that each 
proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a 
different share/CI or shares/ CIs held by their 
appointer. A Shareholder may only appoint a proxy or 
proxies by following the procedure described at section 
2 ('Appointment of Proxy and Voting Instructions') in 
the Reply Form. A proxy appointment must be received no 
later than 2pm BST (3pm CEST) on 28 April 2020. Further 
details in relation to the appointment of proxies are 
given in the Reply Form and Important Notes. 
 
*5. Questions at the AGM* 
 
Under section 319A of the Act, any member attending the 
AGM has the right to ask questions. The Company must 
answer any such question relating to the business being 
dealt with at the meeting unless: 
 
* answering the question would interfere unduly 
  with the preparation for the AGM or involve 
  the disclosure of confidential information; 
* the answer has already been given on a website 
  in the form of an answer to a question; or 
* it is undesirable in the interests of the 
  Company or the good order of the AGM that the 
  question be answered. 
 
*6. Number of issued shares and total voting rights* 
 
As at 25 March 2020 (being the last practicable date 
prior to publication of this Notice of AGM) the 
Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury 
shares) comprised 69,305,392 ordinary shares of 10 
pence each carrying one vote each and having an 
aggregate nominal value of GBP6,930,539. Therefore the 
total voting rights in the Company as at 25 March 2020 
are 69,305,392. 
 
*7. Nominated persons* 
 
Any person to whom this Notice of AGM is sent who is a 
person nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy 
information rights (a *Nominated Person*) may have a 
right, under an agreement between them and the 
Shareholder by whom they were nominated, to be 
appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a 
proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such 
proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise 
it, they may, under any such agreement, have a right to 
give instructions to the Shareholder as to the exercise 
of voting rights. 
 
The statement of the rights of Shareholders in relation 
to the appointment of proxies in note 4 to this Notice 
of AGM does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights 
described in that note can only be exercised by 
Shareholders. 
 
*8. Corporate representatives* 
 
A corporation which is a member can appoint one or more 
corporate representatives who may exercise on its 
behalf all its powers as a member provided that no more 
than one corporate representative exercises power over 
the same share/CI. Any corporate Shareholder who wishes 
(or who may wish) to appoint more than one corporate 
representative should contact Martina Zawadzki by email 
at dialog_agm@art-of-conference.de or by telephone on 
+49 (0) 711 5087 7107.

*Resolutions 3 and 4 - Re-appointment and remuneration

Deloitte LLP is required by section 489(1) of the Act 
to retire at the AGM and seek re-appointment. The Act 
also requires Shareholders to determine the manner in 
which the Auditor is remunerated. Resolution 4 gives 
authority to the Directors to determine the Auditor's 
remuneration. 
 
*Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 - Re-appointment of Directors* 
 
Pursuant to the Articles one third of the Directors 
shall retire at each AGM and, in line with best 
practice, those Non-executive Directors who have been 
members of the Board for in excess of nine years are 
subject to annual re-election. Accordingly, each of 
Richard Beyer, Michael Cannon and Mary Chan are 
retiring at the AGM and are each offering themselves 
for re-appointment in accordance with the Articles. 
Biographical details for each of them are set out 
below, and a separate Resolution is proposed for each 
reappointment. The Board has confirmed that Richard 
Beyer, Michael Cannon and Mary Chan, who are each 
seeking re-appointment as an Independent Non-executive 
Director, continue to perform effectively and 
demonstrate commitment to their roles. Therefore the
